Just watched "Kodachrome" with Ed Harris who plays a dying world renowned photographer who travels a long way with his estranged son and his nurse. He's an irascible old bastard, and it's really hard to like him. IMNSHO, terrific plot line, good story, well done. There's a scene near the end where Ed Harris talks to some folks about being a photographer.

I too watched this coincidentally with this thread. Agree that it is a good movie, and wish that it had illustrated more of the male lead's life as a photographer (vs. about failures as a dad, husband, man).

Now for a really great Netflix documentary, definitely check out "Tales by Light". Perhaps already discussed elsewhere on DPC, but this series is wonderful, especially if you are a nature or travel photographer. Documentary yes, but still some good coverage of the personal side of these remarkable photographers. Australian producers I believe.

I've seen this and I too agree was a nice series. A little "boring" like most documentaries but plenty of information in there to really grasp onto.

The scene in the photo lab that I specifically mentioned in my original post about Ed Harris talking to "fans" where he talks about being a photographer was IMO not only the salient point of the movie but about everything about being a photographer.
